Die Fälscher (2007)

English title: The Counterfeiters.

In World War II's Germany, the Nazis use the services of an imprisoned counterfeiter in carrying out their plan of flooding ally countries with counterfeit money, thereby destroying their economies.

Some interesting ethical issues are exposed here, such as, how should we guide our actions in times when there aren't really many options and our survival is at stake. Nothing really new here, but it is watchable (despite the zooming-handheld camera which has taken over all small-to-medium productions and isn't probably going away). The leading actor gives an excellent performance.
